About

Successful ePrescribing relies heavily on accurate Pharmacy information in OP. In order to maintain an accurate Pharmacy list so that your Practice's ePrescribing is not disrupted. OP runs an automated update, from SureScripts, that will mark Pharmacies as inactive and update the Pharmacy's demographic information so that it is not necessary to manually inactivate a Pharmacy.

The Pharmacy NCPDP ID is used during the update and the following occurs:

• If the NCPDP ID matches in OP, this is a demographic-only update.
• If NCPDP ID does not match what is in OP (typically due to a merger of Pharmacies), the original Pharmacy will be marked as inactive. You will need to search for the new Pharmacy in the SureScripts Master list to add back into OP. An inactive Pharmacy will be removed from the Favorites List and All previously used by any patient lists.

However, your Practice may still manually inactivate a Pharmacy. Below, you will find steps on how to manually mark a Pharmacy as inactive.
